"Lyrical Images"

The Loft Artists Association presents an enchanting exhibition of artwork by its members, inspired by the emotions elicited by the lyrics of their selected all time favorite songs. Pablo Picasso stated that artists find inspiration “from all over the place, from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” Agreeing that they indeed find their inspiration just about anywhere and everywhere, show chair Paul Larson adds “Fueled by melody, harmony, and beat, a rich source of artistic inspiration may be found in the lyrics of the popular music of our time. This exhibition is a collection of artwork by our members that find music, their lyrics, and the vibrant visual images they can evoke as their source.”

An innovative approach to the exhibition, features the audio from each inspirational musical piece available for listening next to the artwork. This will give viewers the opportunity to experience the inspiration just as the artist would have when creating the piece.
